At roughly 6:20 p.m., officers were called to the area of McDonnel Street and Monaghan Road about a group of teens, one brandishing a knife, who approached and confronted another teen. Officers searched the area and located two males matching the description of the two people who were involved in the confrontation. During a search after arrest, officers located and seized a multi-tool pocketknife from one of the teens.
Officers learned of two other incidents involving the same teenagers.
In the first, a group of three teenagers reported being chased and assaulted by two teens in the area of the train bridge near George Street and Dalhousie Street. Two of the victims were taken to Peterborough Regional Health Centre afterward for treatment and released.
In the second incident, a convenience store employee reported that a teen entered the store, took an item and left without paying. The teen returned about 30 minutes later and when told they could not enter the store, threatened the clerk by saying he had a knife before the group fled.
